twisting it into a pillar about a
foot in diameter. This stem was

Arizona Possibilities.

Tucson "a. T., Citizen: Inquiry has
been made from California ~ TO the
actual amount of irrigable land In Pima
county-that Is, land susceptible of ir-
rigation by dams, reservoirs, bitches
and artesian wells. These lands, with
out going into actual measurement,
have been variously approximated, the
average being about 1,280,O 900 acres.
While these figures may not be mathe-
matically correct they certainly are
near enough for all practical purposes.
A birdseye view of southern Arizona
would resemble a great plain with
mountains dotted down upon it at ir-
regular intervals. These noun ntains, as q
rule, are proverbially rugged, being
generally rift and rent BY immense cam
yons that debouch on the plains below,
and thus offer ut comparatively small
cost one of the best water storage sys-
tens in the world. Throughout the
rainy season these canyons become
rivers, and water sufficient to irrigate
an almost incredible quantity Of land
runs to waste. If this water was boarded
and used rs required all southern Ari-
zona could be made one vast garden.
These lands, however situated, II tribu-
tary to water, can be cultivated and will
produce as no other land in state or tor
ritOry in the United States can. This
Is not idle talk, however much to the
uninfOrmed it may seem. They will
produce fruit, grain or vegetables in
prolific abundance. All that we or the
people of southern Arizona ask is that
these things be econscientiously inquired
into and it will be found that half the
truth of our wonderful resources has not
vet been told

The Meanest Man Again.

New York Commercial Advertiser:
About as mean man as often comes to
light is an undertaken who took advant-
age of a poor woman last week. Her
child died and the undertaken agreed to
bury it in Cavalry cemetery for $l2, and
charged her $3.50 for burial permit.
She was too poor even to go to the GEM
etery with her little ones coffin, and
she learned day or two later that the
undertaken had buried the child in the
Potter's field, and that burial permits
are issued free by the city. She will
sue the undertaken, and it is to be hoped
that he will be made to smart for his
meanneSS.
